This kind of amused me in the supermarket this morning.

"Sugar" here is a common mistranslation for "candy". The two words are the same In Chinese.
 

Quote

糖【táng】 sugar; sugared; in syrup; sweets; candy.

 

No. I didn't buy them!

You know you spend a lot of time on eG when a song comes on the radio, and your brain immediately tries to tell you that Freddie Mercury is singing about a "killer" kouign.

It took me a little while to get  the clerk in the Chinese store  to say "pRessure" cooker and not "pLeasure" cooker.

Actually, I like "pleasure cooker" better. I use it so often to make cooking easier
